PlanTracer Receives Editor's Choice Award for Tackling the 2D to 3D Challenge

December 3, 2002, Rockville, MD - PlanTracer by Consistent Software, a new product in IDEAL's family of Scan to CAD products, receives The Editor's Choice Award from CADENCE Magazine. The Award is given to those companies that the CADENCE editorial team feel constitute significant technology that will help move the CAD industry (and related disciplines) forward. PlanTracer is the first solution on the market for AutoCAD and Architectural Desktop (ADT) that converts floor and building plans into intelligent models automatically and/or semi- automatically. These models are suitable for immediate use in AEC or Facilities Management (FM) applications. PlanTracer enables conversion of simple graphics or source floor plansinto objects such as walls, columns, windows, doors, etc. The program can process any 2D-floor plan loaded in AutoCAD or ADT. It processes scanned raster drawings or DWG/DXF files.

"Facility managers can scan their paper drawings using an IDEAL/Contex scanner, convert the raster data to vector with the WiseImage plug-in to PlanTracer, and then create a 3-D model." says Jay Magenheim, President of IDEAL.com. "PlanTracer bridges the gap between an AEC model of a building and vector data provided by any 2D drawing system or by raster-to-vector conversion software."

IDEAL.com plans to market PlanTracer through an authorized dealer program and is actively seeking qualified dealers. 

IDEAL.com develops, markets, and supports a wide range of color and monochrome scanning solutions for large format drawings and technical documents including Scan to Web, online conferencing and browser-based document management solutions.
